Hello and welcome to Look East with Amelia and me. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
The headlines from Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk: Mental health services | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
in turmoil tonight as the Trust which cares for vulnerable adults | :00:12. | :00:18. | |
faces a split. It's a summer to remember for the | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
region's busy lifeboat crews. Mounting frustration on the county | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
border as this road remains under flood water. | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
And it's back to the day job for the Queen in Norfolk today as | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
controversy erupts over her household finances. | :00:35. | :00:48. | |
Hello. The troubled mental health service | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
which covers Norfolk and Suffolk insisted today that clients would be | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
safe despite an upheaval in the organisation. 1,600 vulnerable | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
adults are to have part of their care switched from the NHS to | :00:58. | :01:07. | |
Norfolk county council: So how did it come to this? | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
Social care for adults aged between 18 to 65 suffering from mental | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
health issues was run by the County Council until six years ago when it | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
was taken over by the Norfolk Waveney Mental Health Trust. Four | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
years later it changed again. This time joining forces with Suffolk to | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
form the Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust with an annual | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
budget of ?220 million. But almost immediately there were problems. | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
Savings of ?40 million were needed over four years. Jobs beds and | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
services have all been cut. Yesterday. Norfolk County Council | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
decided to pull the plug on the contract for social care a contract | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
worth ?4 million a year. And so we come full circle with the council | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
running the service again from September. The details from our | :01:54. | :02:03. | |
chief reporter Kim Riley. 19`year`old student told from | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
Norwich was diagnosed two years ago with a major depressive disorder. He | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
has made four attempts on his life. There are periods of absolute, as | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
Churchill said, a black dog follows me around. I am slower physically, I | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
can't think straight, and the whole world is dark. There are other | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
periods like now when everything is relatively OK. There are still some | :02:28. | :02:35. | |
problems, and the never go away, I have lots of them before that. And | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
eventually, hopefully, I will make a full recovery. Do you think you are | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
getting the support you need and what difference do you think these | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
changes made to make? You'll make the individual members of staff are | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
fantastic, they have never put a foot wrong. I do not think the | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
changes will make much difference, that is mostly because as far as I | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
am aware there will be no increase in funding. I do not feel my son is | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
cared about enough, he is an individual, a very sick individual | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
and I do not think that the quality of care reflects how sick he really | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
is. The union Unison says its members at the trust have already | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
been through a radical restructuring. We are there at the | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
sharp end trying to provide care, we have had 40% shot that Mac cuts to | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
the staff. There are beds, cuts to match. They are not happy at all it | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
is a real dilemma for them were two good patients. We are very committed | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
to making sure the people who need health and social care services | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
continue to get those in a way that is indicated. The difference will be | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
that we will have specialist social workers and specialist social care | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
workers who are really well supported to deliver a new model | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
social care. Tom is studying for an open University degree, living in a | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
student house and for the moment enjoying good health. He and his | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
mother both feel that in cash strapped times those with a mental | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
illness too often pay the price. Gary Page is the chair of the | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust. Earlier I put it to him that | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
major improvements had failed to be made. So what had gone wrong? We | :04:15. | :04:23. | |
undertake a review of the service with the county council earlier in | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
this year, the key thing is that we deliver the service that the people | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
of Norfolk deserve and expect. They give you an ultimatum, didn't they? | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
It wasn't an ultimatum, it was, how can we make this service efficient? | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
The world of social care has changed dramatically since the service came | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
to the trust five years ago. When I talk to service users in Norfolk I | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
consistently hear that it takes too long for them to get their personal | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
budgets. That is not acceptable for the Council or I was so by | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
redesigning the service in this way we hope to be able to deliver a | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
battle service with the county council. You so matter of fact about | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
this, we are talking about a ?4 million contract that has been taken | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
away. The important thing for me is not the size of the contract it is | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
that people get the service they need. We think these changes will of | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
that. This is not out of kilter with what is happening elsewhere in the | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
country. You talked about what you're concerned about, the 1600 or | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
so people many of them vulnerable that you support. Do you feel you | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
have failed these people? I think have not been getting the service | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
they need. It has not been efficient, and have not been getting | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
personal budgets agreed as quickly as we should have. I got `` why not? | :05:42. | :05:49. | |
You should have. We have done the sensible thing which is to look at | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
the service and redesign it in a way that will give personal budgets more | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
quickly for the users. There will be concerned from the people you | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
support and their families that swapping things over will just lead | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
to more change and more instability, or confusion in the service that | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
does not provide the support they need. What guarantee can you give | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
them that this will not be the case? The council have said that the trust | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
have said that weakening committed to an integrated service, that means | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
people call located in the same building and joined up. What we need | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
to do is make sure that the processes behind this are efficient | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
and delivering a service people need. That is what this is designed | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
to do. Is this about saving money? County council is cheaper? This is | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
not about money it is about delivering the best service we can | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
win in the financial constraints that the council had trust have. You | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
must save ?40 million over the next four years, the council must make an | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
awful lot of savings, too, and quite often it is mental health that falls | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
short. This is not about saving money, if you read what is being | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
said here, this is not being announced as a money`saving | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
initiatives. This is about delivering a more efficient service. | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
Thank you very much. Still with health care, the Interim | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
Chairman of the East of England Ambulance Service has resigned. Dr | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
Geoffrey Harris took up the position last summer. In July the entire | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
board of the Trust resigned following serious concerns about the | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
way the service was being run. The process to appoint a new chairman | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
has already started. The region's lifeboat service has | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
reported another busy year with some spectacular rescue missions off the | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
East Anglian coast The biggest exercise was the response to a | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
charity swim off Southwold, which saw dozens of lives saved. This was | :07:38. | :07:55. | |
last September, the sisters are clothing `` clinging to a marker, | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
cut out by rising tides. One of the crew on this hovercraft was over the | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
seeds to get one of them as his colleagues prepared to bring the | :08:05. | :08:06. | |
other two in. You can hear their cries. This was Southwold last | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
summer when more than 80 people got into trouble during a charity swim. | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
For lifeboats were involved in the rescue, one of the biggest of the | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
year. The organiser in the `` admitted that starting the event was | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
a mistake. The decision to go ahead with it at the stage we did was | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
inevitably the wrong one, given the circumstances that then started to | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
evolve. And take this a wonderful thing but that rescue and scores of | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
others which took place last year along the coast showed yet again the | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
critical role of the RNLI. It has been a steady year followers despite | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
the good weather and the reason for that is the positive coastal safety | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
messages we have been getting out to our lifeboat stations and | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
lifeguards. The lifeguards have helped over 10,000 people across the | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
beaches with over 1 million people having visited. Cromer is one of the | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
spots where RNLI lifeguards help keep people safe. It was here last | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
August that one of them saved a young boy, who was called in a | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
redcurrant. The lifeguards work with lifeboat crews, all highly trained | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
and committed and from all walks of life. You have teachers, managers of | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
shops, electricians, plumbers. And gardeners. And it is just anything, | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
if anyone is able to come down and put some time saved during the week | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
we will train them up to the coming lifeboat man. This coastline | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
marketed like never before is drawing in more people than ever | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
before. It is beautiful, that it can be treated as, too. As another | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
invasion looms the RNLI teams will be ready and waiting. | :09:48. | :09:57. | |
People living in the fenland village of Welney in Norfolk say they have | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
been effectively cut off from Cambridgeshire for weeks because of | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
flooding. The A1101 floods regularly There are plans to install new | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
warning equipment. But the work has been delayed because of the | :10:07. | :10:14. | |
water`logged conditions. Taking a chance on the flooded well the wash | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
Road, this driver avoided the 25 mile diversion but could have gotten | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
stuck. This is the 81101 which runs through the mature in Norfolk. It is | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
frequently flooded and when it is closed it means fewer customers for | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
this part. It is very difficult, we have half of the village living on | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
the other side of this suspension bridge, with young children there | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
are people commuting. It is a long way to commute and its discourages | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
younger working age people from moving into the village as well. All | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
four posts tell drivers how deep the water is, but only once they are in | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
it. The electronic signs are ready but cannot be installed until the | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
water is gone. It is clear that the road is flooded, but even in the | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
past hour well we have been here at least a dozen drivers have gone | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
through it. What the county council is hoping is that the new digital | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
signs telling drivers how deep the water is will discourage them from | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
chancing it and cut the number who get stranded. What this does is it | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
acts very much like one of those measuring posts not rather than | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
having to wait till you get to the deepest part of the water coverage | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
to discover the depth the information will be available when | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
drivers can make their decision, do I feel comfortable carrying on using | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
this road orders now the time to time around and make other | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
arrangements? So far this winter the road has flooded and been closed on | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
45 days, each council is buying the new signs, Norfolk puts the cost of | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
theirs at ?26,000. It would stop the flooding, but drivers will have a | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
better idea of what they're getting themselves into. Still to come, we | :11:56. | :12:12. | |
see the Queen on royal duties near Sandringham. And we are live at | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
Carrow Road as the new league stars aim to kick racism into the long | :12:16. | :12:24. | |
grass. Higher student fees and the cost of | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
living means times are tough for many students in the region. But | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
today a special offer from Essex University. They are cutting the | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
cost of a post graduate degree by 25%. | :12:35. | :12:36. | |
The discount is worth between ?1000 and ?4,000 and is being offered to | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
students from Essex to mark the university's 50th year. We have 11 | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
higher education institutions offering postgraduate degrees here | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
in the east. And last year there were 5,750 students knuckling down | :12:49. | :13:01. | |
to their first year. It has been an eventful 50 years at Essex | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
University. Back in the 1960s student riots given the reputation | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
as a hotbed of radicalism. They miss visitors have included Nelson | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
Mandela. How has your visit been? Back in the early days, a public | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
appeal for money to make the plan is a reality raised ?1 million, so to | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
mark the University's 50th birthday, and to repay that generosity, the | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
University is offering county of Essex scholarships. Students born | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
living are educated in Essex to start a postgraduate research or | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
Masters degree this October will get 25% of the fees. And the university | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
says that could be worth to ?4000. The Deputy Vice Chancellor explained | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
why they should consider it. Thick new things, be brave, go to the edge | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
of knowledge is, invent things, and at the end of it, have an additional | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
qualification to an undergraduate degree that we would hope set people | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
up very well in their careers in the future. This offer is not just for | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
twentysomethings, it is open to everyone? Is open to everyone. 50th | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
anniversary scholarships are something we wish to get back to the | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
people of Essex. And for current post that explained why they thought | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
further study was worth it. You need to put yourself a level above | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
everyone else, a lot of people nowadays are going to university, | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
doing degrees, and the job market is really tough. Is no barrier of age | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
to be able to do this, in some cases it is an advantage because you have | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
a sort of greater depth of experience from what you have done | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
previously. If you enjoy studying there is always more to learn, | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
always more that you can get from university. As they can get local | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
people in doing research I think that must be a good thing. And with | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
the campers still expanding the university hopes that the next 50 | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
years will be as ground`breaking as the first. In sport, some of | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
tonight's football fixtures have fallen victim to the wet weather. | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
But the Premier League match at Norwich goes ahead. | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
The visitors are Newcastle United and the club is using the game to | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
highlight the campaign against racism. Tom Williams is at Carrow | :15:17. | :15:25. | |
Road now. Welcome to Carrow Road. The fighter | :15:26. | :15:33. | |
football against a scuba nation is high on the agenda. Both sets of | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
players will be winning one of these T`shirts. The managers will wear a | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
badge and the is also a supplement in the programme highlighting the | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
work of Kick It Out in campaigning in the last 20 years. There was a | :15:49. | :15:55. | |
word beginning with the letter and that some football fans used to | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
shout at me. There was a world beginning `` word beginning with B | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
some fans used to shout at me. They do not do this any more. Each | :16:08. | :16:16. | |
Premier club uses one game per season to highlight the Kick It Out | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
antiracism campaign. This manager has faced racial abuse. The strides | :16:21. | :16:29. | |
that we have made in the 20 years since Kick It Out have been involved | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
have been incredible. We must applaud them and also show racism | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
the red card and other campaigns have worked very hard. But racism | :16:40. | :16:46. | |
still contains football in this anti`Semitic gesture has and hemp a | :16:47. | :16:56. | |
ban. Stan Collymore has faced a barrage of abuse on Twitter. I have | :16:57. | :17:05. | |
had bananas thrown at me and they think that if they threw the colour | :17:06. | :17:18. | |
at me they could put me off. Norwich midfielder Nathan Redmond is an | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
ambassador for the scheme and believes other players have a | :17:25. | :17:33. | |
responsibility to stamp it out. We must set a good example to younger | :17:34. | :17:35. | |
players and everyone who watches football stop this is a chance to | :17:36. | :17:44. | |
turn around Norwich City boss might season and to highlight a fight that | :17:45. | :17:54. | |
is bigger than football. A spokesman from the club said that Kick It Out | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
is not just geared towards football's fight against racism but | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
also against all forms of discrimination in the game. Kick It | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
Out was set up during your time here at Norwich. Have you noticed much | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
change? I think the game has evolved and besiegers are in place to pull | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
out these people who break the rules. I think the game is a lot | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
nicer place to watch football melodies. We are surviving on a | :18:25. | :18:33. | |
match by match basis until victory against Hull. Has that bought some | :18:34. | :18:40. | |
time now? Norwich are a team where if they survive in the Premier | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
League and have a good season, the league is extremely tight and one | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
when the movie up three or four places and that is what the bottom | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
half of the Premier League will face for the rest of the season. It is a | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
very tough league and I would like to see people stick with the manager | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
and keep buying them for the rest of the season. With a win tonight, they | :19:04. | :19:11. | |
can go into the top half? There are five points covering ten places in | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
the bottom half of the table which is crazy. I do not remember it being | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
like this before. A win tonight is highly possible and they could move | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
up into the top half of the table. Thank you for joining us. There is a | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
full programme of matches tonight but some of them have been put paid | :19:32. | :19:49. | |
to buy the weather. These of the matches that are off. There is | :19:50. | :20:08. | |
coverage of all the matches that have survived the weather on your | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
local BBC Radio station and will bring you all the results are | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
normally the bulletin. The Queen has been getting advice | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
from some MPs today. They said Her Majesty should tighten her belt and | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
find new ways of making more money from the Royal palaces. | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
The Queen herself was in Norfolk doing her day job and opening a new | :20:27. | :20:34. | |
village hall. In a moment we'll hear from one MP who wants to see a bit | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
of thriftiness at Buckingham Palace. That's after this report from Dawn | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
Gerber. The Queen paid a special visit to a | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
village on the North Norfolk coast. She was here to open the new village | :20:48. | :20:56. | |
hall in Thornham. This is the first time we have seen the Queen. She | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
asked me what I thought of the hole and I said it was brilliant. It is a | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
village of only 400 people saw the Centre plays a big role in bringing | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
the community together. There was a great bars in the hall `` bars and | :21:13. | :21:24. | |
we are just starting up live theatre and have been very well supported | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
indeed. Only a select few were lucky enough to see hello to the Queen in | :21:32. | :21:45. | |
person . She said it was a lovely hall and we had an activity area for | :21:46. | :21:52. | |
games. This visit coincides with MPs calling for the Royals to make more | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
savings. They say at least 50 million pounds is required to | :21:59. | :22:10. | |
upgrade while properties. It should be a mixture of their own money and | :22:11. | :22:17. | |
the money of the taxpayer. What they bring to the country in terms of | :22:18. | :22:26. | |
tourists and attractions is what makes Britain individual and great | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
so I have no problem with my tax contribution. So there is still | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
great support for the Queen on the public and here in Thornham the | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
visit today will be on the all remember. | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
So who is it saying the Royal Household needs to make some | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
changes? It's the Commons Public Accounts Committee. Richard Bacon, | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
the MP for South Norfolk, is one of its members. Do you think the Queen | :22:55. | :23:04. | |
is to tighten her belt? It was a special year the year before last | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
with a diamond jubilee which is why the expenditure was higher and we | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
see this should make efforts to restore that position because the | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
reserves have fallen very low. I have been some changes in the way | :23:19. | :23:28. | |
that the Royal family grant is provided and I think they did not | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
think that maintenance was worth assessing and I think a lot of | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
people feel that we have Mark Willis `` marvellous heritage places and | :23:40. | :23:52. | |
they are worth restoring. Some of the income that is provided for that | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
should come from visitor numbers. Have you looked around Buckingham | :23:59. | :24:07. | |
Palace to see how bad it is? I visited Buckingham Palace and | :24:08. | :24:14. | |
Washington in a matter of a few weeks. The White House is much | :24:15. | :24:31. | |
martyr. Visitor numbers have gone up and the Houses of Parliament have | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
800,000 visitors and the Tower of London 2.4 million. Buckingham | :24:37. | :24:49. | |
Palace is now open 78 days per year. I did not realise you were | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
name`dropping about where you have been. It was some years ago but | :24:53. | :24:59. | |
there is no doubt that if we to pay for this in these tight times you do | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
not want to do it cheap and shoddy job on important national building. | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
Visitor income is one way to do that. | :25:09. | :25:20. | |
Winds from the East will come on in the next few days. A large area of | :25:21. | :25:31. | |
low pressure is coming across the British Isles which means we have | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
had showers today which have formed together to give heavy downpours, | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
particularly over the last hour of sole in the eastern half of Suffolk | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
and Essex. Through this evening and overnight these showers will | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
continue and the potential is there for these to be quite heavy. I will | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
be a lot of cloud around and temperatures will not fall to | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
below. Most places will not have frost tonight. Tomorrow morning | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
there will be showery rain the first thing and maybe just some snow. | :26:04. | :26:10. | |
There will be nothing expected to settle and as we go through the day, | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
that easterly wind will strengthen which will make things feel quite | :26:15. | :26:21. | |
raw. Temperatures will be around six degrees but factor in the wind and | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
it will feel quite chilly. Tomorrow night, the potential is there for | :26:27. | :26:33. | |
cold temperatures. Looking ahead, we keep that easterly wind for Thursday | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
which will be a very cold day. But look what is coming. A large area of | :26:38. | :26:44. | |
low pressure from off the Atlantic which will bring a smile that but | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
wet and windy conditions. That rainfall will not be welcome at all. | :26:49. | :26:55. | |
For the next couple of days, expect things to feel colder. Thursday | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
looks dry but it will be quite cloudy and temperatures may not get | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
over four degrees. There is potential for some showers but these | :27:05. | :27:10. | |
may well be wintry in places but nothing expected to settle. Any | :27:11. | :27:19. | |
showers will be likely to be rain. There is a risk of frost but then in | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
comes the mole which brings us heavy rain for Friday and Friday night. | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
Wind speeds will pick up from the south that it will be largely dry as | :27:30. | :27:31. | |
we start the weekend. | :27:32. | :27:33. |
